Reasons for Mail... A Little Note Left Behind

Hello Friday! How did you get here so fast?

I've been working on the girl's scrapbooks lately and I love to stick little cards or notes in it along the way that they can find and open later in their life. So this week'sReasons for Mail is to leave a little note behind that someone will find later. Find a great quote and let it be your inspiration for what you leave in your note or card.

Inside this card, I will write a little message to my daughter to reminder her of the endless happiness and joy that she finds daily in her 2 year old world... and how much that means to me as her mother. I hope she continues to find the happy and good in life as easily as she does now.

To create this card:

1) a. cut card from kraft and adhere patterned paper that is cut slightly smaller than card b. sew around edge of paper with a small zig zag stitch

2) adhere strip of striped patterned paper to card and embellish with pearls

And a layout that I just couldn't help making with all of the beautiful goodies on my desk... (thus the reason for the name of my blog... if I make one, I usually make the other...)

The card to the right of the photo reads: "I have been absolutely terrified every moment of my life, but I have never let it keep me from doing a single thing, that I have wanted to do." - Georgia O'Keeffe

Don't you just love great quotes? I find so much inspiration in them... and hope you have enjoyed stopping by today. Have a wonderful weekend!
